In Austin, on the October 13th weekend, 100 coders will gather and code "like rabid monkeys" for 48 hours straight, producing open source code for running political "advocacy" projects. There's a videoblog, and many events through the weekend. Silona sez, "We are hosting it at tekrepublik.com 5310 Burnet Austin Texas. They normally have huge LAN parties so they has a big pipe. There will be people in Canada and Seattle helping out remotely. We will be working on everything from creative a semantic structure paralleling the legislative process (the top item when I surveyed 50 legislators) to updating the current calendar system to use hcalendar from microformats.org and be handicapped accessible (knowbility.org is helping out there.)"
(Thanks, Silona!)
